Flashlight LED replacement. Before and after pics.

[Suvdal]

Since this was the last light inside my car that had`nt been "LEDified" yet, I had to replaced these LED`s aswell. Unfortunatly the before and after pictures "lie" a bit. The before pic was taken an early morning inside my garage, so the yellow light looks much stronger on the picture than the white one.

I yet havent seen the white one when it`s dark outside, but I guess it will look good

Either way, I am very satisfied :rofl:

Very nice, i wanted to do this as well. Where did u get leds and how did u open this thing?

[Suvdal]

I bought the LED`s from a company called ELFA. https://www.elfaelektronikk.no/elfa3~no_no/elfa/init.do?init=2&shop=ELFA_NO-NO&item=75-187-16

But I also bought these from Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130701835241?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

However, I havent received them yet.

The disassembly is really easy on this one. Just take a normal skrewdriver, and insert it on the front of the flashlight. Then twist It will easily come apart.

Now what?

[Suvdal]

You are almost there I think the last two clips is on each side at the bottom of your picture. Just twist your screwdriver and it will easily come apart

Is your light yellow or white?

Yes. If you have two soldering irons, use both. That`s the best One on each soldering point, then the old LED will come of easily.

And remember to put the new LED`s in the same way the old ones was fitted. (same direction)

[Anthony1337]

I did everything correctly but it doesnt work :S it worked when i first put it in a car to test, both 3 lighted up, and after that when i put them again on superbs connector they didnt light up anymore. I checked with a tool if any led blown but they work separately. I dont have any idea what went wrong :S
